Whatever you're learning, here at York we provide a range of services and resources to help you develop the skills you need to succeed. There are extensive Library resources and study spaces across campus, with flexible booking options for single and group study, both formal and informal.

Our Departments are also equipped with specialist facilities to support your studies. From our industry-standard trading room allowing you to get to grips with financial markets, to our state-of-the-art Law facilities including a purpose built Problem-Based Learning suite and fully equipped mock courtroom, we are continually investing in our campus facilities to deliver an excellent standard of teaching and learning across all subject areas.

Library

Our central Campus West Library provides a range of places to work, research and study. There are contemporary spaces and flexible furniture in the Morrell and Fairhurst buildings, and a more traditional silent atmosphere in the Burton building. Students can also make use of PCs, Macs, laptop loans and the Library Cafe.

As well as the central Library, there are dedicated study spaces in the Piazza Building on Campus East and specialist libraries at King's Manor and the York Minster Library in York city centre.

You’ll have access to more than a million books in print and a large range of electronic resources that you can use from anywhere in the world. There are hundreds of thousands of ebooks and online journals, as well as statistics, reports and data available to you.

Tailored support

Each Department has online guides and an Academic Liaison Librarian who can support you with specialist queries and advise the most relevant resources for your subject. We also offer guides and workshops to help you with traditional academic skills like researching information, and those less traditional like coding or creating interactive media.
